  1. Thank you my Ohio friend!! You would think that in this "free" land of ours that you wouldn't have to be so afraid of the various regions with their varying laws that they consistently change to fit their unfounded fears and that you could go about this country as one free citizen....but not so and better to be safe than sorry!!! Going to be a good week coming up......
  2. Thanks '7.62m43'.....researched a little already similar to your suggestion but I guess I was just looking for some Ohio members to shout out and say they use the same mag setups and have had no issues with range masters or the like!? But I guess each range will be different of course....so I will take them with the internet info I have gathered and ask locally at the range before I unpack my weapons/mags to shoot! Wish I had some 5 rounders just in case but worst case scenario I will be loading single rounds and just honing in my sights! Thanks for the link though.....
  3. Was wondering if anyone has info for me on Ohio laws for magazine capacity for target shooting!? I am going there for work for a week and I am planning on taking my 7.62x39 and 12 guage Saigas and don't want to bring any mags for either gun that will get me into hot water!? I leave in the morning so I don't have time to scour the boards for any past post so sorry....just need to know if I can bring my 30 rounders for my 7.62 and my 10 rounders for my 12 to shoot with? Thanks for any help/info, much appreciated and looking forward to shooting my new S-12 for the first time! Been a f
  4. Finally got my Saiga 12 SGL 12-09 paid up and brought it home.

    Trio

    From the album: Saiga 12 To Add To My Saiga Saga

    Figured I would get the Russians together with their flashy american cousin (nickle plated Winchester Marine Defender) for the final pic! Zombie/Battle ready with this trio.....

    Def going to go with the tactical look for the S-12.....already have my purist Saiga with the 7.62x39 so now it is time to have some black-op fun!

    Saiga family growing.....with big brother Ivan (S-12) and little sis lola (7.62x39)

    Pretty happy with this muzzle barrel setup so far!

    Now I just have to narrow it down on how to dress the Russian to be battle ready! Hogue grip, T6 adjustable stock, AK style front sight and finally razor sharp front muzzle brake are a given, just have to figure out which furniture and accessories I need to go with it all!?
  10. Okay, gottcha on the leo, thanks for the info!
  11. Thanks for the info HPD....still not sure if I am going to keep it or not? Might just utilize it and throw a bunch of other Mad Max accessories and make this Saiga a bad mutha trucker!? I already got my purist/traditional Saiga 7.62 built, so now I think I will have some mad scientist fun with this one *cue the evil laugh*!
  12. Yeah, I am not a big fan of the 'mad max' front rail myself....a little overkill if you ask me but I guess from what I have read this is the LE version and that is why the dressed it up like that!? I just wonder if it is removable? I have other furniture (2 types of intrafuse hand guards and 1 galil style and an adjustable AR Tapco buttstock) from my 7.62 build that I would like to try out on it? Not sure how interchangable they are but I will hold off selling them until I see if I have a need for them I suppose! CANTA Wait!
  13. Thanks guys for the feedback....I thought it was a good deal based on gunbroker auction prices, which I know can be inflated, but I went for it anyway since it was about the same price as my un-converted 7.62 and figured it had to be a deal in the long run! And yes, I will check for 922r compliance....thanks for the heads up.....Saiga 12's are a new venture for me and I know I need to brush up on the inner workings and parts compliance vs. 7.62's! I am not shy now with one conversion under my belt, so if I need to do some compliance swapping work, that will be no big deal! After all once

    Pricing $?

    I would like some input on pricing for a Saiga 12 and what the going rate is so I don't get rooked! I just put money down on a factory converted pistol grip Saiga imported by FIME of Las Vegas. It comes with one 5rd mag and one 12rd drum for $649.00 This was an impulse buy and want to make sure I am doing the right thing and not wasting money? I pretty much completed my Saiga 7.62x39 conversion and got the bug to get one in 12g! It is already converted with the forward FCG and grip from factory so it won't be as much fun converting but I guess I can focus on accessories this tim
  15. Thanks, and now on to my next project! My local shop has a Saiga 12 already converted and comes with one banana clip and one drum for 649.00....should have grabbed it tonight but f'd up and didn't, brain dead after long day at work I guess?? If it is there when they open in the morning it is mine!! It has an Izhmash embossed pistol grip on it....does that mean it came pistol grip converted from the factory?? Damn I hope it is there in the morn....

    Love the classic Slant Brake look and think it looks good with original wood furniture setup! Hard to believe the transformation! Very happy with the outcome! Loving my home-grown Arsenal equivalent w/out the sticker shock, lol!

    Tapco Slot muzzle brake, top rated for minimal muzzle climb and recoil! Can't wait to try it out!
  18. From the album: First Conversion Going Good So Far!

    My threading equipment arrived today from CSS and worked flawlessly! Was much easier than I anticipated once I got the rifle properly stabilized and set in the bench vise! Don't even try and do it without help from a vise or friend, IMHO! Both Tapco muzzle brakes (slant & slotted) screw on to the correct timing/position and after bluing the threads it turned out looking like it was straight from the Izhmash factory!! Need to start looking for another Saiga so I can start a new conversion now that I am addicted to this process! I may offer up my die/tat/handle for cheap sale/r

  20. From the album: First Conversion Going Good So Far!

    Went for the barrel shroud removal to see if there were threads....but no deal! Really thought there would be after seeing the pistol grip hole during conversion, but no dice. Sanded and painted the end and it actually looks like it came that way, so not too goofy until I get a hold of a die/tat to thread her up! Coming along good! If anyone has any advice or comments send them my way as I am still learning and would appreciate the input!
  21. Thanks Captn'.....bit the bullet and dremmeled my front muzzle shroud off...but no threads! Was hopeful after finding pistol grip hole during conversion but oh well, 1 for 1 anyway! Sanded and repainted the end of the barrel so it wont look too goofy until I can get FSB or thread it, which is the way I am leaning now that the shroud is off! If any one knows of anyone still renting/loaning die/tat for 14x1LH I would really appreciate the heads up!?
  22. From the album: First Conversion Going Good So Far!

    Next stage will be adding AK74 FSB so I can finish off with under barrel cleaning rod and slant muzzle brake. Then i am sure i will find more to do so I get her as close to her original form that the Mother Land intended for her!
